Immersive Landscapes

21/09/2024 - 05/10/2024

Melbourne based Cathy Quinn describes her works as investigations into the fluid relationship between landscape and introspection. “For me, painting is an escape – a means of transporting oneself into another realm – the state of flow,” she relays. Her art communicates a visual experience beyond the strictures of traditional landscape painting. The logic of […]

Subtropic Utopic

17/08/2024 - 31/08/2024

The title of this exhibition is fun and colourful like the work. It describes the idyllic surrounds of our subtropical area, but it also has a more meaningful side, as it references a rich history of utopian style art. Artists, philosophers and writers have always been in the business of imagining better and brighter worlds. […]

Funny By Accident

Sydney-based Sophie Gralton’s signature imagery again explores the realms of vulnerable innocence, curiosity, spontaneity and unbounded potentiality which characterises childhood.

Vicki Visits Palm Springs

06/07/2024 - 13/07/2024

My passion for painting mid century modernism narratives has, at it’s core, of being born in the 1950’s and a love of swimming pools and exploration.   The post WWII optimism and economic boom reflects the playful and futuristic aspects of mid century modern design.  Motels with large neon signs attracted travellers and highlighted the great […]

Coastal Keepsakes

30/03/2024 - 13/04/2024

I’ve lived on the Gold Coast since the early 80’s. I loved family camping trips exploring the countryside and experiencing the sights such as tropical gardens, beaches, estuaries, fields of yellowed sugarcane growing in uniform grids and attractions like the Big Pineapple. The white timbered ‘Queenslanders’ dotting the countryside, often clinging to the hillsides above […]

Ellenberg tells that the title Birdsong represents “all the […]
